Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

...I'd like that too.
By the way, if they're doing a Peggy becomes Cap story, then does that mean Hayley Atwell is coming back?
One Strip! One Strip!Atwell has voiced-acted for Peggy before, in Captain America: Super Soldier.
"What If Thanos wanted to turn half of all life into kittens?"
Everyone loves kittens, so nobody stops him. Then all the planets descend into apocalyptic economic crashes, but at least there are kittens.
Yep. The movie actors are going to provide the voice acting for the series.
This song needs more love.For some reason, I really want to see Steve Rogers sing karaoke to this song
.
I really wish the films made more fun out of Steve Rogers' rich and storied acting career.
Like, I'd have loved it someone - probably Tony - fished one of the old Captain America filmreels out of the internet or something and - in a scene like the one where they're hanging out trying to lift Thor's hammer - showed it to the rest of the Avengers.
Just a simple, fun, short scene of the Avengers as people, playfully at Captain America's expense.

There was one Iron Man story involving moon rocks that were soul corrupting Toxic Phlebotinum thanks to years of being exposed to otherworldly power such as the Infinity Gems. The soul corruption caused Tony to suffer hallucinations. In one of them he imagined a universe where he sacrificed himself to put Yinsen in the armor instead of the other way around.
To show just how low Tony's opinion of himself really is and how powerful his Survivor's Guilt is, the world he imagines with Yinsen as Iron Man is better in every possible way. Everyone is happier and the Earth is well on its way to being a utopia and part of the galactic community.
Even after all these years, Tony has never forgiven himself for Yinsen's death.

Disgusted, but not surprisedAdaptational Villainy of good-hearted Death by Origin Story characters is usually pretty bad.
Looking at you Telltale Batman.
Disgusted, but not surprisedSlavery.
The bits we hear about Kree are bad.

Forever liveblogging the AvengersSlavery or dissection to figure out if there's a way to make Kree as Long-Lived as Loki.
Then the Kree would go hunting other Long-Lived races like the Asgardians to mainline their blood, like an entire empire of Peter Thiels.

Disgusted, but not surprisedSo much happening while I was asleep...so, let's see…
Yes to a Peggy as Cap series!!! Hell, yes to everything Peggy!!!! Peggy is awesome!
Yes to the Falcon and the Winter Soldier logo. I especially love the design of the "f"....it that a new idea? I would love for Falcon to have his own symbol which is just as distinctive as the red star, the shield, the hammer, the ironman mask and the hourglas.
And I don't mind the "those characters are in it" titles. No need to make this complicated. I sure as hope that Wanda Vision is some sort of crazy funny show.
Now that I think about it, it be dope if Wanda Vision takes some stuff from the Vision comic.
Vision & Wanda trying to live a home life while everything goes to absolute tragedy/horror/thriller shit would be entertaining as all Hell.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."Things weren't exactly rosy for Wanda and Vision back when they were a couple in the comics either. Wanda's entire life has been, to put it lightly, a complete shitshow starting from childhood. That's what happens when you grow up near a sealed ancient demon god and you have just the right power-set to make contact with said demon god.
Disgusted, but not surprisedI would love it if they actually introduced Master Pandemonium, aka Baby Hands
◊.
Called it!!
... Why aren't you working for Disney?
And for what if, I propose what if quiksilver survived Age of Ultron, and what if Fantastic Four movies didn't suck.
So technically there would be one time he throws his axe to his left arm/hand and saves the universe by Thanos being unable to snap anymore?

Huh. Didn't know James Gunn was re-hired
.
Not that I care for GOTG but good for him, I guess. This and Suicide Squad? Jeez.
I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!

It's literally a 22 minute montage of Thor throwing the axe at different parts of Thanos' body, including his shoulder, his solar plexus, his big toe...
The only positive one is the one where Thanos takes an ax to the knee, and retires to become a city guardsman instead.
